Heat the grill/broiler to medium-high. Season the pork chops on both sides with the salt, black pepper and garlic powder.
Heat the oil in a large ovenproof frying pan over medium-high heat. Sear the pork chops for 4–5 minutes on each side, until golden and cooked through, then transfer them to a plate.
Lower the heat to medium. Melt the butter in the same pan, add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Stir in the honey, water and vinegar, then simmer for 1–2 minutes until glossy.
Return the pork chops to the pan and spoon the sauce over them. Place the pan under the grill/broiler for 1–2 minutes, until the edges are lightly caramelised.
Scatter over the parsley and rest the pork chops for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

For best results, allow the pork chops to rest for a few minutes after broiling to redistribute the juices. The sauce can be adjusted according to taste; add more honey for sweetness or vinegar for a tangier flavour.
